ABSTRACT:Sexton Development is pleased to present the first pending LEED certified single family residence in Lake Bluff, Illinois. This particular design had to be carefully crafted to incorporate the perfect blend of cutting edge construction practices and sophisticated green systems with an overall French Country design in mind. The intent for this build was to find a realistic approach to construct a state-of-the-art, energy efficient home that looked as if it were built around the time of many of the most beautiful and timeless French manors that can be found along Chicago’s North Shore.

This home showcases some of the most efficient and advanced residential systems on the market today with products ranging from groundbreaking water-proofing systems and all-in-one thermal & vapor barrier insulation designs to whole-house radiant heating and whole-house media distribution. This North Shore home highlights Sexton Development’s experience and skills, incorporating the industry’s leading mechanical designs with any architectural style, all while creating a smaller carbon footprint and being environmentally conscious.
